The dramatic rise of antipsychotic prescribing in youth occurred in conjunction with the illegal marketing of the drugs by their makers, resulting in multibillion-dollar settlements with the government

Since 1993, the rate of antipsychotic drug prescribing to children increased by a factor of nearly eight, while prescribing to teens quintupled and in adults nearly doubled, according to a new study.

Organic Watchdog Files Formal Legal Complaint with USDA

WASHINGTON - August 9 - The Cornucopia Institute, a not-for-profit policy research organization based in Wisconsin, filed a formal legal complaint with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) against several infant formula manufacturers that are adding two synthetic preservatives to certified organic infant formula.

The Organic Foods Production Act, passed by Congress in 1990, explicitly bans synthetic preservatives in organic food.

Gillian MacBeth-Louthan – Thoth “The Atlantean” – 14 August 2012

I am He who advances on the waves and the intricacies of wisdom that is held shadowed and hidden from the self that sees not. I am He who unfolds himself in each of the atomic structures of your body. I represent all that is hidden within your thoughts, within the angles of your heart and the perspective of your motives. I am Thoth. The Atlantean.

I come on this day as I see each of you reaching outward to become more, reaching upward to longitudes of knowledge that you once sat upon. You will become sublimated on levels of knowledge drawing the moisture of your wisdom into a place that has been parched and dry of truth. Contracting as a spring that pulses upward and then bounds out to places unknown and unmapped.

GMO tomatoes: good-looking poison

Published on Aug 10, 2012 by RTAmerica
 

Ever since industrial agriculture has started producing tomatoes, they have all started looking the same. That's because consumers want the ripest, reddest, roundest tomatoes they can get, and big business makes sure they got it. The question though is what producing genetically identical tomatoes does for the taste and nutritional value. Barry Estabrook, author of "Tomato-land: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit," joins RT's Liz Wahl to discuss the matter.

The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A final problem that [humanity] must solve in order to survive in the world house that we have inherited is finding an alternative to war and human destruction. Recent events have vividly reminded us that nations are not reducing but rather increasing their arsenals of weapons of mass destruction. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. A so-called limited war will leave little more than a calamitous legacy of human suffering, political turmoil and spiritual disillusionment. A world war will leave only smoldering ashes as mute testimony of a human race whose folly led inexorably to ultimate death". - Dr Martin Luther King 1967 - click here for a PDF of the complete text of 'the World House Essay' - a remarkably succinct assessment of our predicament. This is the last chapter of the last book he wrote before being assassinated. Click here for more quotes from MLK

Here's My List!!!

I guess I should speak up. I’m one of those who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to happen. Every day I go through the press and read the stories. I hear people wanting proof. Well, I was one of those people, mostly because my family looks at me sideways. They wonder what I got myself into. They think I’m crazy! My oldest sister told me that she is definitely sure I’m involved in a cult. And she didn’t even ask me any questions. LOL!!! I have to remind them that I put my pants on one leg at a time just like they do. It’s like a brick wall. All I hear is “It’s not in the Bible. It’s not in the Bible” I just want to shake em! I had to let that go because I know who I am (not literally). But when I think about it I do have proof. The things my body has been going through with the one day fevers, the muscle aches, body rashes and OMG the acne. I never had acne before even when I was a teenager.  

 

Last month I got my car fixed for free.  I had my ATM card out ready to pay and he said we are not going to charge you for this maam. Just consider it an act of good will. I said THANK YOU!!! Also, I paid $12.95 a day in advance to rent a Ford Focus for two weeks while on vacation last month. When I got to the counter all the attendant said was “You’re going to look good in this car” I didn’t know what he meant until I went to the stall to get the car. Wow he gave me a 2011 fully loaded keyless Dodge Charger for the same price. My sister said for some reason she thinks I have been getting blessed. This is the same sister that says she is certain that I am in a cult. Duh…

BEING CONSCIOUS OF NEEDINESS ~ By Premlatha Rajkumar

Most of us are unconsciously addicted to neediness. This unconsciousness makes us constantly need others’ love, approval, and attention. In order to get this we go out of our way to do all that which is not true for us.


We forget how to be ourselves. In our neediness, we strive to do the things that the other person likes; we forget what we like.


We put up with things that our body and mind does not approve of, just to satisfy the need of getting the attention of the other person. We easily accept any kind of abuse or humiliation just because of our neediness of the other person’s love, or approval.
This unconscious behavior makes every human relationship painful. Then worry, doubt, stress, and anxiety becomes the norm of everyday life.


We come into this world alone, and we go back alone. We are Divine beings, and our Divinity within is abundant enough to satisfy all our needs. The problem began when we lost focus on our Divinity within, and started focusing on the outside for our needs. Attachment to something outside the self is an illusion. Even if people love each other very much, and tend to cling to each other while awake; at one point sleep walks in and takes away each one to far away mysterious lands.
